Background Documents

Several key documents helped shape the overall framework of the Vancouver Immigration Partnership (VIP). Key among these documents is literature about Local Immigration Partnerships and the City of Vancouver Healthy City Strategy. These documents are linked to this page. The City's Welcoming Communities initiative that operated between 2013 and 2014, also informed the development of VIP. (The program for the Welcoming Communities Summit, held in March 2014, is also included below.)
